As for master chief they’d at least know it’s from “that game” even if the call it COD or Doom or something like that.

Kratos would draw and absolute blank.

Within gaming MC is still bigger than Kratos for everyone but you Sony stans.

More like "from that Star Wars/Trek" movie, like I said, fool.

And it's no allegiances here. Ya'll talking about truly iconic, neither is the answer.

The only 3 video game characters that everyone will know is sonic, Pac-Man, and mario, maaaybe donkey kong.

Everything else is a mystery to non-gamers

Edit—-

I’ll throw the original tomb raider Lara Croft in there also, Angelina Jolie made that character pretty well known

I mostly agree maybe I’d take out Mk, and I’m sticking with Lara Croft

Y'all in here lying to yourselves acting like your aunty or cousin wouldn't recognize Master Chief before Kratos 10 outta 10 times:mjlol: He was practically Mario status in the US during the early Xbox Live/360 era

Sure. Point is they’d at least have a point of reference.

not “y’all” I didn’t make the thread. Just participated as its presented.

If either is “iconic” MC fits that more than Kratos :manny:

Surely we should use longer than a year if we're talking Icon status, no? If you go back to 2004 you'll see that MC's peak (red) is well beyond Kratos, but Kratos has been holding down the lead for a few years now:manny:

Would be interesting to see this thread bumped 2-3 years from now after Ragnarok & Infinite have been out for a while:jbhmm:

It will prob been even worse by then
